Embiid suffered an orbital bone fracture around his left eye in a March 28 collision with teammate Markelle Fultz and underwent surgery to fix the injury. "We gonna see how it feels in the next couple of days".

Embiid, 24, was named to his first All-Star team this season and leads the Sixers in points (22.9) and rebounds (11) per game. And I feel great.

Without Embiid, the Sixers dominated the Heat in Game 1.

Goran Dragic, returning to the starting lineup after missing the final regular season game with a sore knee scored 15 points for Miami, while James Johnson finished with 13. He returned to action and scored a game-high 28 points in the 130-103 rout of the Heat.
